摘要
Optical and micro-infrared microscopy were used to observe the internal structure of high and low quality Chinese seawater and freshwater cultured pearls.Results clearly show that aragonite and calcite are found but vaterite is not found in seawater cultured pearls.In contrast vaterite and aragonite are found but calcite is not found in freshwater cultured pearls.Based on our analysis and observations on the internal structure of lots of high and low quality cultured pearls,we revise the previous integrated model of cultured pearl’s internal structure,especially on prismatic layer.
